Chapter 2980

Author: Lord Leaf
Carmen’s words instantly woke Tom up.

Carmen was right. Even if he was still hoping that he would still have the opportunity for any mediation, he should seize the best condition that he had right now first. Otherwise, two years would end up becoming three years, and if he had no choice but to accept it, that would be equivalent to him losing another year in vain!

As he thought about this, Tom hurriedly said to Charlie, “I choose the first option!”

Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Unfortunately, one minute has already passed. The first option now is for you to go to sea and become a seaman for three years. You’re not allowed to get off the ship during these three years.”

Tom’s legs suddenly went weak as he cried and said, “Charlie, I beg you not to toy around with me anymore. I chose the first option. Isn’t it okay if it’s two years?”

Charlie said helplessly, “Sorry, but the rules of the game cannot be broken. The first option is now three years. I’ll give you another minute

You need to get the original author back. Perhaps if you treat your authors better, they would not leave. This is a wonderful idea, but it is almost slavery, while you make the big bucks. It wont last if you treat people badly. Perhaps we should get Charlie to teach you a lesson! hahahs

    Tom recognized Quinn’s voice instantly.At this moment, he was completely stunned as though he had just been struck by lightning, and his entire body was frozen in place as he was unable to move.He really did not know that Charlie even knew Quinn.After all, he had never heard of the marriage contract between Quinn and Charlie when they were young.At this time, Charlie looked at Quinn, who was in the video, as he smiled and asked, “Why do you think that I’m the mastermind behind this matter?”Quinn smiled broadly as she said, “Although Tom Zielinski is indeed quite stupid, I think he should not be so stupid to that extent. Besides, Brother Charlie, I think you’re the only person that would be able to pull off such an evil prank. Anyone else would never have been able to think of such a damaging prank!”When Tom heard this, he instantly felt very sad, and he could not help but wail in his heart, ‘Am I really just a fool in Quinn’s mind?!’At this time, Charlie simply smiled cal

    ‘Could it be that she really does not want me to appear at her concert that badly?!’When Charlie heard Quinn’s request, he said with slight embarrassment, “Nana, I forgot to tell you just now that Tom Zielinski is right in front of me.”As he said that, he switched to the rear camera on his phone as he pointed the camera at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground.Quinn was indeed a little surprised for a moment when she saw Tom. After that, she then said, “Tom, since you’re here, I’ll not beat around the bush. I specially prepared my concert in Aurous Hill for Brother Charlie! Moreover, the day of my concert is also Brother Charlie’s birthday! I do not want any flaws in my concert, so I cannot accept your appearance at my concert! Before this, you used all kinds of connections, and it was very difficult for me to make things clear to you. Since everything is already out in the open now, I’ll not continue hiding the truth anymore. I’m sorry, then.”Tom instantly broke down emotionally

    Carmen, who was far away in Eastcliff, had been silent all this while as she listened to the conversation over the phone. The more she listened, the more she felt sorry for Tom.Carmen also could not understand why Tom would end up being such a failure. After all, everything he had done was because he had wanted to pursue Quinn, but in the end, Quinn actually despised him to this extent.It would be fine if Quinn were to simply despise him, but since Tom had offended Charlie because of Quinn, the losses really outweighed the gains.At this time, Carmen also did not know how she should explain things to Zacheus. He was still waiting for her to save his son, but his son had actually been detained directly by her own nephew, and Zacheus would have to wait for at least three years before he would be able to see his son again.Just as Carmen was feeling extremely worried and frustrated over this matter, she suddenly received a prompt on her cell phone. It was an incoming phone call from

    Zacheus ground his teeth and asked, “Then, what does he want before he will be willing to let Tom go?”Carmen hesitated for a moment before she said awkwardly, “Charlie said that he would let Tom work as a seaman on his ship for three years. Tom will not be allowed to leave the ship at all during these three years, let alone set foot on ground. He will only be able to regain his freedom after three years.”“F*ck!” Zacheus immediately burned with rage as he roared angrily, “Is this a f*cking joke? He wants my son to work as a seaman for him for three years?! Who does he think he is?! If he does not return my son to me today, I’ll make sure that he pays for it!”Carmen persuaded, “Zacheus, listen to my advice. Charlie is not someone you can afford to mess with. Even I cannot afford to offend him. If you offend him, he will deal with you arbitrarily. Even my father would not side with me at all. Now that Tom has already fallen into his hands, no one will be able to save him, including

    Jeremiah’s words made Zacheus feel very unhappy deep inside his heart.In his opinion, Jeremiah was simply saying this because he was defending his grandson.The reason why Zacheus had looked for him was because he was hoping that Jeremiah would help him put in a good word in front of Charlie on his account to see if this matter could be reduced from a big problem to a small issue.However, he never would have dreamt that Jeremiah would tell him directly that he, Zacheus, would not be able to afford to offend his grandson?!Wasn’t he simply being a bully, then?!Jeremiah seemed to have guessed what Zacheus was thinking, and he said seriously, “Zacheus, I know that you must think that I’m simply protecting Charlie, but let me tell you the truth. Although Charlie is my grandson, you’d still be no match for Charlie. The entire Wade family and even I are not capable of interfering in this matter at all.”Zacheus naturally did not believe this. When he heard these words, he could not

    He knew very well what kind of person Carmen was. If even Carmen had to suffer such hardship and grievance under Charlie’s hands, this was more than enough to prove that Charlie was not someone who would be easy to deal with. Moreover, he was probably a tough nut to crack!If even Carmen could not deal with him, it would certainly be very difficult for him too.When he heard Carmen crying over the other end of the line, he hurriedly said, “Carmen, why didn’t you tell me about all this earlier?”Carmen sighed and said helplessly, “What is the point of me telling you about it? Even I cannot afford to mess around with Charlie, so how can I possibly ask you to look for him and court your own death, then?”Zacheus said with some embarrassment, “You… No matter what it is, you’re still my woman. If you had said something, I'd definitely be willing to take all risks and go through thick and thin for you!”Carmen smiled and said, “I’m truly satisfied to know that you have this thought. How

    Carmen naturally could not turn Zacheus’s request down after hearing his plea. So, she could only speak up, “Wait a moment. I’ll give Charlie a call and ask him about it.”Zacheus sighed slightly before he said dejectedly, “Alright, then. Thank you for the trouble, Carmen.”“No problem.” Carmen comforted him, “Zacheus, you don’t have to be so sad. In truth, I feel that Tom’s character is indeed a little too immature. So, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for him to put himself through the mill for three years. If you were to continue to allow him to continue hanging around in the entertainment industry like this, I’m afraid that it’d be even more difficult for him to achieve success in the future.”Zacheus said seriously, “Sigh. You’re right! I already asked him not to engage in this kind of hypocritical thing a long time ago, but that kid simply refused to listen to my advice. If he did not enter the entertainment industry, he naturally would not have gotten into such trouble

    Carmen hurriedly said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. I’d like to trouble you with another matter. Tom’s father would like to talk to him on the phone. Do you think that it’d be convenient for you?”“Talk on the phone?” Charlie frowned before he glanced at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation, as he turned on the speaker directly and said, “How about this? Tell his father that he can talk to him over the phone, but he will only be able to talk to him for up to two minutes. Will that be fine?”“Yes.”Very soon, Zacheus, who had received Carmen’s reply, called Tom’s cell phone.After Charlie answered the call, he immediately turned on the speakerphone as he handed the cell phone over to Tom.Zacheus, who was on the other end of the line, asked tentatively, “Tom, are you there?”When Tom heard his father’s voice, he broke down emotionally as he cried and said, “Dad! Save me, Dad! There is a man here who wants to send me off to work as a crew member on a ship for t

    "That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

    In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega

    Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

    Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

    Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki

    Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should

    Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e

    Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,

    Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
